frontline-api

Make raw HTTP requests to the Frontline Public API using the Frontline CLI. Use as an escape hatch when a specific endpoint does not have a dedicated CLI command, or when exploring the API.

Prerequisites

  • The frontline CLI must be installed (npm i -g @getfrontline/cli).
  • The user must be authenticated (frontline auth login).

Commands

Make a raw API GET request

frontline api raw get <path> [--query <key=value>...] [--debug]
Flag Description
<path> (required) API path relative to the base URL (e.g. /agents, /workflows)
--query <pairs...> Query parameters as key=value pairs (repeatable)
--api-key <key> Override the stored API key for this request
--profile <name> Use a specific CLI profile
--debug Show HTTP request/response diagnostics

Output is always the raw JSON response — there is no --json/--pretty flag here.

Important: Only GET requests are supported currently. Passing any other method will result in an error.

Example:

# Raw GET request to the agents endpoint
frontline api raw get /agents

# Raw GET with query parameters
frontline api raw get /agents --query status=active --query limit=10

# With debug output to see full request details
frontline api raw get /billing --debug

Output: JSON on stdout ({ ok: true, data: … } when the endpoint uses the SOR envelope).

When to use this skill

  • When you need to access an API endpoint that does not have a dedicated CLI command.
  • When you want to explore the API response structure.
  • When building automation scripts that need raw API data.

Discovering available endpoints

Run frontline --help to see all available commands. If a resource is not listed, you can try calling it directly via frontline api raw get /resource-name.

Troubleshooting

  • "No API key found": run frontline auth login to authenticate.
  • "Only GET requests are supported": the raw API command currently only supports GET. POST/PUT/DELETE are not yet available.
  • Use --debug to see the full HTTP request URL, headers, and response status for diagnosing issues.
